Micro-aggressions by animals as leaders is fucking nuts, but everyone looks st me funny when I play it

Long time metalhead here, refugee from reddit, ofc. I’ve never listened to Veil of Maya before, but I dug this track, so thanks for sharing. Personally I’m a big fan of classic, symphonic, and power metal, but I enjoy plenty of stuff in other sub-genres as well, depends on my mood. Glad to be here, and glad there are other metalheads around.

Hell yes! So happy to find some other metalheads here. I’m sort of “basic”, I guess, in terms of my metal tastes. I haven’t been able to get into any harsh vocals. I can get into Mastodon’s harsh vocals and enjoy some of Gojira and Opeth. But other than that, I’ve never had harsh vocals “click” for me.

So I mainly love and always listen to Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and Megadeth…NWOBHM stuff mainly. But I want to branch out and get into some newer stuff.

Recently I’ve enjoyed the latest releases from Blood Ceremony, Blood Star and Oozing Wound. Sleep is pretty cool, and I enjoyed Thrice’s newest release.

So I’m interested in finding some new music to check out with you fine folks!

I like a lot of what I consider ‘classic’ metal, which I hope is not offensive. Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Dio, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin. I like a lot of nu metal too, I hope that doesn’t get me banned.

I’d like to try more, I think it’s just the extreme varieties I can’t really get into.

Veil of Maya always struck me as quite an eclectic band. Love their stuff!

My favourite songs by preferred bands are -
Fear Factory / Slave Labor
Amon Amarth / Twilight of the Thunder God

Although I’m loving Wind Rose at the moment. It’s just got that perfect amount of Power Cheese!

Nice pick! My favorite metal is folk and/or symphonic influenced:
Nine Treasures - Bodhicitta
Flesh Juicer - 虎爺
Krampus - Tears of Stone
Aephanemer - Dissonance Within

I wouldn’t call myself a metalhead, but I’ve been listening to Galneryus a lot lately (japanese powermetal). Any recommendations?

So many great songs to choose from, so I dont really have a favorite. One great song I just listened to is called Suicide Machine by Death.

I am. First post.

I threw We Butter The Bread With Butter - Fall on my Surfans this week at work. When it played, I was glad I did.

I’m basic and most of my favorite metal is pretty accessible. That being said, there’s a couple I don’t usually play for my friends:

Yodh - Mizmor

Converge, in general

Meshuggah, in general

I have listened to and went to a lot of metal concerts. I tend to gravitate towards symphonic metal, with Epica being my favorite.

I have recently been trying to diversify and, in the process, found a lot of great new and old music to enjoy outside the genre too.

I liked to share IGNEA they are evidently Ukrainian. IGNEA — Alga (Official Video) / symphonic metal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KOXbzMRQHs

Not my favorite of all time but every time I discover some ridiculously heavy and awesome song like Strangled - Defect I’m sad that I can’t share it with any of my friends.

I haven’t heard of Veil of Maya so I’ll give them a bash today.

The metal I’ve listened to has narrowed over the years but I love Gojira and a bunch of instrumental metal bands (rediscovered Deathmole recently and the track “No thanks” goes hard. Also a massive fan of Genghis Tron – every track on their album Board up the house is incredible.

Nasum

Turns out most of my friends are not into grindcore nor do they appreciate me sharing said music.

Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza is another that is such an excellent song but my non-metal friends just hear noise.

I did get the wife to listen to The Chariot but I think that was about her limit.

Gastronomicon by Slugdge, the mollusc-themed death metal band that is far, far better than it has any right to be
